Hmm, seems like the 8th amendment doesn't apply to civil forfeiture at all, and this ruling would do nothing for it. Civil I guess sounds like a 4th amendment case.
Is that about right?
EDIT: Also you should tell the New York Times. "Criminal forfeiture" does not appear in the article, though "civil forfeiture" does.

- orblivion 8y agoYeah I keep reading "civil" mentioned in news articles. I even say a lawyer on a news video talking about how this applies to civil forfeiture cases. What you're saying makes sense, but I'm not seeing it reflected in any of these sources, so I'm doubtful now.
